^Yep.

I was looking for a place to ditch it, but I don't think any inputs would of had much effect. I probably would have ended up underneath the dump or in the back of one of the cars pulled over. Nothing like a little adrenaline rush on the way to work.

Pete, where exactly was this?

**** happens to me every F'ing day. I get an adrenaline hit at least once on my way to work. Today was when someone on their phone ran me off of 95 at like 75mph towards the wall on the right.

Not trying to steal your thunder!

I was thinking again about driver training for getting your license and I think along with a much more involve instruction series in the beginning that people should also have to return every 2-3 years for a retest (just like car inspections). It would be a nightmare to have to schedule the retest and wait in the DMV but it is way worth it in my opinion.

Driving to and from work these last coupe of rainy days had me thinking that it's not the roads and the conditions that are dangerous but all the geniuses slamming their brakes in the rain going around corners too quickly. Everybody is so worried about safety features in car that they don't think that if they actually had a clue that safety features are more than adequate. Today's car are so incredibly safe it drive and to crash its ridiculous. I remember a time when I used to ride in the front seat of my mother's 1984 mercury grand marquis station wagon and our safety measure was to ensure I wasn't wearing the shoulder harness of the seatbelt.
